So if I get a lot of chatter in 1st and 2nd gear going at low speed would upgrading the clutch be the best course of action? I'm starting to not like the stock clutch. I feel like it slips a lot (when starting off), and the car will shudder and give the impression that the clutch is slipping...
What is the approximate install time and a general price shops will charge to install this? I know the price per hour will be very different depending on where and what shop but just trying to get an idea.
Yeah that's the thudding I hear. My clutch does make a lot of chatter and rattling noises however and gear engagement can be difficult at times.

I was told by a tech at my dealership that the thumping is completely normal on the car (this guy is a specialist and has been doing his job for over 20 years) but I'm starting to doubt him since I haven't really seen anyone else saying this is normal.

Awesome. I figured that's how it works but wanted to make sure I fully understood it. Getting my exhaust replaced due to a horrible rattle from a component inside it, and probably getting the clutch assembly replaced because the car doesn't like to go into 3rd or 5th gear (that's what the tech...
So if and when Ford releases this TSB, and we are experiencing the thuds, how will we get the dealership to act? Do we have to take the car to the dealership and have them look it up or would they send an email like they should during a recall.
I've done a bit of searching but can't find anything. I know with recalls Ford should send you an email if your VIN matches the cars with problems. With TSBs however, do you just tell Ford you have been having a problem and then they look up the TSB and do the tests to see if you "qualify" for...
Meant to post a few days ago. Had my looked at. They said if it keeps acting up and if it continues to be difficult to put the car into gear they're going to replace the exact same things

They started a new thread with information on the fix in the forced induction section. It looks like stage 2 is all good to go and they should be done with the H.O today

Mine is bad in first gear. My clutch makes a lot of racket when I let it out after starting the car. And when I'm sitting going from gear to neutral when I let the clutch out it makes some nasty sounds as well.

Yeah I had a feeling they weren't going to be able too. They did fix a loud exhaust rattle I apparently had. Hopefully next weekend will be more informative.

Got the car back. The dealership wasn't able to produce any problems. I have some videos I'm going to upload and will be taking the car back next weekend to show the techs what I'm hearing.
Relatively easy install? This is a very tempting way to go since headers are so expensive, but since I'll be getting a custom tune when I get my supercharger I'm hard pressed not to just bite the bullet. I also don't know how comfortable I am with cutting and welding (even though it appears to...
